Visionary Tony Petrello and the Future of Nabors

Tony Petrello is a true visionary in his industry. Beyond a visionary he is a man that knows exceptional hard work is necessary to make it to the top and even harder work is needed to stay there. He brought this incredible vision to Nabors Industries in 1991 after he left a glowing career in law (where he had already become managing partner of the firm’s elite New York branch) to become President and Chief Operations Officer of Nabors Industries.

While Nabors was already a giant in the oil and gas drilling contracting industry, Tony’s leadership style has pushed them to the forefront of the industry. They now are the largest drilling contractors in the world and from the looks of it, there is no sign of slowing down on the horizon.

Tony Petrello currently holds the illustrious titles of President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, three huge responsibilities that all come with varying roles and commitments that he does not take lightly. He is known as an incredibly diligent person, one who sees the bigger picture and lays the groundwork, but also is never afraid to get in and get his hands dirty to make his vision become a reality. He is a leader that is consistently taking on new roles that will provide benefit to his company’s overall vision. He took on a strategic leadership role with Nabors Industries to guide the company’s future, as he and the majority of leadership spend a great deal of time focusing on the present in their current roles.

He is also a director for outside businesses that profit from his skillset. Those companies include Stewart & Stevenson LLC and Hiltop Corporation.

His annual income in the 2015 fiscal year was over $15 million, a testament to the value Nabors Industries places on his visionary style of leadership.
